What are the characteristics of western classical art?

Western classical culture and art were first created by Greeks. Based on their own national characteristics and their own creation, the Romans selectively absorbed and integrated the ancient Greek culture, and constantly injected new content, so as to carry it forward and finally form a unique cultural tradition or system.

Of course, ancient Greek culture and ancient Roman culture also have their own different characteristics. As early as Augustus' time, Virgil, a famous Roman poet, had already expressed their respective themes. In his view, the genius of the Greeks lies in the creation in the field of culture and art, while the Romans lie in ruling the world and "promoting peace" in the world with power.

Just as "Greece can be called glory, it is the glory of human spirit's free creation, free thought and free belief;" Rome can be called great, great strength, discipline and consistency. "

This is caused by their national character, historical tradition, social and natural environment and other factors. However, the ancient Greek and Roman culture, as a homogeneous culture in the same strain, has condensed into a cultural tradition with its unique connotation and system in the long history.

Extended data:

The pure art of western classical art came to an end, so anti-art appeared. Later, most of the problems were raised. No matter whether it is pure art or anti-art, we can only do some work from the aspect of development at most. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to find a way out from pure art and anti-art, which leads to the turn of sociology.

In the period of classicism, art mainly served religion and had sociological attributes. After the emergence of pure art and anti-art, art escaped from sociology; Now art is returning to sociology.

Of course, the method of regression is completely different from that of the Middle Ages. Only in this way can the artist's works be more appealing and valuable. Sociology actually adds a bargaining chip to art.

Like the "wrapping" art made by Mrs. Christopher, at first they wrapped tables and chairs with plastic sheets at home, and later they wrapped a bridge in Paris. These all enter art in a non-artistic way, and there are anti-artistic ideas in it, but the strength is not enough. It was not until they bought the original parliament building in Berlin that their strength really appeared.

From a sociological point of view, there are also many human nature crises that artists need to pay attention to. So it can't be said that sociology hurts art.
